Yankiwi Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Another blatant example if "it's who you are", not what has been done. One dog - suffers mild heat stroke -send home by the race day vet virtually untreated 1/2 hour later. Two people fined - Total fine $2,550.00 http://www.jca.org.nz/non-race-day-hearings/non-raceday-inquiry-riu-v-b-goldsack-and-r-goldsack-written-decision-dated-2-august-2019-chair-mr-n-mccutcheon The precedent from just about one year ago. Six dogs - all died. Two people fined - Total fine $6,000.00 http://www.jca.org.nz/non-race-day-hearings/non-racedy-inquiry-riu-v-j-mcinerney-and-r-armstrong-written-decision-dated-31-august-2018 So why aren't the two cases decided on level ground? 6 x $2,550.00 = $15,300.00 applying the later penalty to the first case. $6000.00 / 6 = $1000.00 applying the first penalty to the later case. In other words- Case #1 - Six dead dogs = .5% of 2017/2018 total earnings. Case #2 - I sick dogs for 30 minutes = 6.2% of 2017/2018 total earnings. Case #2 the dog is likely having its dinner tonight. Case #1 none of the 6 dogs had dinner the night their decision was posted. Case #2 was 12.4 times more sever than Case #1 in monetary penalty. Where's the justice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crosscoded Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Yankiwi, i can see your point about consistency but not certain i can agree with your conclusion.... mild heat stroke was the outcome, however if the dogs distressed state wasnt identified, it could have potentially resulted in death. in putting forward a penalty, i suppose the jca would look at level of negligence(even if an oversight) and then outcome ie. dog lived dog died. IMO goldsacks penalty is about right, Macinerney, way to soft. Now there are two precedents one which was arguably too light and one arguably to heavy it will be interesting to see where future penalties fall.

Yankiwi Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share Posted September 9, 2019 On second look, I believe you're right. J Mc was mid Jan. This case is mid Feb. Surely that'd mean the SPCA are still investigating the January case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
